DHĒRTĀKHYANA:
III. *7*. 87-88: SUN AND Moox ECLIPSED BY Rāhu's HEAD.-Mbb., Adi. (critical ed.), 17. 4-8.---The corresponding story in the Mbh, runs thus: The Sun and Moon reported to Vişnu that Rābu, under the guise of a god, was just drinking nectar churned from the ocean, Vişnu immediately cat his head which began eclipsing the Sun and Moon with enmity towards them.
III. *8*. 89-91: Vişno COVERS THE UNIVERSE BY TAREE STEPS.-Mbh, Aranyakaparvan (critical ed.), p. 1086, App. I, extract No. 27, lines 66-81.
III. *9*. 92: HANUMAT CARRIES TAE DRONA MOUNTAIN WITH ALL ITS VEGETATION (Rāmāyaṇa).-Rāmāyaṇa, Yuddhakāņda, Sarga 101. 30-46, see also Sargas 50 and 74.
III. *10*. 96-7: The EARTH LIFTED BY Varana.'-Mbh., Aranyakan parvan (critical ed.), 187. 11; also Brahmapurāņa, chap. 213. 40–42.
IV. *1*. 18: A DRUM FROM MĀşa PLANT.--[?..The details are too meagre to indicate the source.
IV. *2*. 19-21: A River OF ELEPHANT ICHOR (Bhărata).[?].-This quotation can be traced only with the aid of the Verse Index of Mbh.
IV. *3*, 22-4: BHIMA AND BAKA (Bhārata, according to the Sanskrit Text).Mbh., Adi. (critical ed.), 145-152.The critical edition describes the demon's share of food at 148. 6; but more detailed descriptions of it are found in different recensions of the Mbh.: see Adi (critical ed.), p. 942, passage Nos. 91–92. Haribhadra's details are more than covered by them.
IV. *4*. 25-6: KUMBHAKARNA'S MEAL.-Rāmāyaṇa, Yuddhakāņda, 60 (especially verses 32–38, 62-63, 91-92)
IV. *5*. 27: AGASTYA DRINKS THE OCEAN.Mbh., Aranyakaparvan (critioni ed.), 101. 10; 102. 18 f. ; 103. 1-10.
IV. *6*. 28-29: Ganga DRUNK BY JAHNU.Ramayanı, Balakānda, 43. 84-38.-The exact period of one thousand years, noted by Haribhadra, is not mentioned in this context by the Rāmā.
IV. *7*. 31-87: The MIGHTY GARURA. - Mbh. Adi. (critical ed.), 14-32. — These chapters practically cover all the details noted by Haribhadra. There are, however, some points of specific difference: The Mbh. notes only two eggs (14. 12) of Vinatā giving birth to Aruna and Garuda, while Dhû. mentions one more egg which was impatiently opened first and which produced a scorpion. Secondly, it is the mother, according to Mbh., that tells Garuda the whereabouts of the nectar and that asks him to eat Nişādas (24. 2); but according to Haribhadra it is Kāśyapa, the father, that gives these instructions. Thirdly, the Mbh. does not connect the dropping of Vața tree with Lankā. Lastly, Vişnu is quite partial to Garuda almost from the beginning in the Mbh. (129, 12 f.).
IV. *g*. 88: GOVARDHANA MOUNTAIN LITTED BY KRŞŅA. - Brahma. purāņa, chap. 188. 14 f.; Bbāgavata (Nirnayasagara ed.), X. 25. 19.
IV. *9*. 89--80: MONKEYS Broogur MOUNTAINS FOR THE Setu. - Rämayaņu, Yuddhakanda, 22 (especially verses 50-60).
